Climb with Me?

Many mornings at a certain timethe dogs go a bit crazy.They bark excitedly.

In September it takes me a bitto remember that it is bus time andthe neighbor boys are at their bus stop.a.k.a. Our driveway.

So, in those early days of the schoolyear I often go to look who might beout there.

What I see is pretty predictable.Boys in our maple tree.

What is it about a tree that makes it justneed to be climbed?

Those boys aren't the only ones who loveto climb this tree.

Look who I found there on Monday....

Climbing....Reaching new heights.Seeing things from a different perspective.Enjoying the beauty,While facing fears in the process.

That is what draws us . . .up into a treeor to the peak of a mountain.

Have you climbed lately?

Stretched beyond your normalcomfort zone?

Maybe you havetaken a much needed respite among thebeauty of God's creation?

Whatever your reason forclimbing. . . it is worth it!

Best of all,You don't have todo it in your own strength!

The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights.Habakkuk 3:19a

Let's Climb together!Reach for those goals and dreamsthat are just outside the realmof comfort and the known.

I know of several people right nowwho are climbing...

Whether it is ~

to win against illness,to have a much wanted child,to find a job in a market that is cruel,to start a business,to cheerfully meet the demands of a busy family,learning to live without a spouse who is gone,taking on the challenges of a needy foster child,orin the ministry that they have been called to.

This was me...a few years ago...OK...Maybe MORE than a few years ago...Maybe a LOT MORE than a few years ago, but it was something I really enjoyed doing. I lived in a very small town...there wasn't much else to do. Becky, when I get a chance, I am going to email you with some dates that I would have available...I would love to have another get together. I can't believe that a year has passed since the last one...Oh MY, where does the time go?
